Quaker State 400 PreviewBy Micah Roberts
VegasInsider.com

Saturday Night’s Sprint Cup race takes us to Kentucky Speedway for the fifth race this season on a 1.5-mile track. This will be the fourth race run on the mildly banked (14 degrees) speedway whose past winners have been Kyle Busch (2011), Brad Keselowski (2012) and Matt Kenseth (2013). Kenseth has the best average finish (4.7) among all drivers, and dominated on 1.5-mile tracks last season, but his only Top-5 finish on them this season was third at Charlotte last month.

Are Kenseth and the Joe Gibbs drivers getting better, or does it even matter because of how far ahead of the game the Hendrick Chevy engines appear to be in regards to horsepower. Gibbs has won two of the three Kentucky races, but they never had a horsepower deficit in those years like is the case now.

Penske Racing’s Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski won on the first two 1.5 tracks this season at Las Vegas and Texas, and then Hendrick Motorsports' Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson took the last two at Kansas and Charlotte. Kevin Harvick, who drives for Stewart-Haas but uses a Hendrick engine, has finished second in the last two at Kansas and Charlotte.

Those are going to be the drivers you want to key on this week, and you can throw another Hendrick driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr. into the mix as well. And you know sooner or later Kasey Kahne, who finished second at Kentucky in 2012, is going to put all his Hendrick power to good use with a win eventually.

Much like last season, we have a clear view who the best cars are on these type of tracks. Kenseth had already won at Las Vegas and Kansas last season before winning at Kentucky. Kevin Harvick won at Charlotte and would also take the checkers later in the season in the fall Kansas race. Kyle Busch had won at Texas and later won at Atlanta's 1.5-mile layout.

You get the idea.

Chances are we've already seen Saturday night's winner between the first four races on the 1.5-mile tracks, and the most likeliest of candidates appear to be Jimmie Johnson, who has won three of the past five races overall on the season. Kentucky is one of four tracks he's never won on, but in three starts he's never finished outside the top-10, with an average finish of 6.0 which is third best behind Kyle Busch (5.3) and Kenseth.

We saw Johnson cross Michigan off his 'things to do list' a few weeks ago at a track that had eluded him longer than any other. With someone that has accomplished just about everything possible in NASCAR, winning at every track is one of those goals he has to place before himself to keep him pumped up and motivated. Sure, it's probably not too hard to jump into a car every week when you know you have the best stuff, but to keep things fresh, you play the game within the game.

For Johnson, only four tracks remained to be crossed off and it's likely only three will remain after Saturday's night race.

I rarely talk about the Nationwide series, but there’s a special circumstance this week because of having just experienced my most exciting race of the NASCAR season, and the funny thing was, I didn’t even have a wager on it.

The reason for the excitement was because Brendan Gaughan, from Las Vegas, won his first Nationwide series race and ninth overall within the three major NASCAR series he’s driven in over his 18 year career. After getting himself in all kinds of trouble throughout Saturday’s race at Road America’s 4.04-mile road course in Wisconsin, Gaughan managed to run his No. 62 South Point Camaro fastest in the rain (Nationwide runs road course races in the rain), and between great pit strategy and skilled driving, he was able to drive himself to victory.

I was happy not only as a Las Vegan, but also because I know what an emotional year it’s been for the Gaughan family after Brendan’s grandfather, Las Vegas pioneer Jackie Gaughan, passed away in March. When leading with four laps to go, all I could think about was how much a win would mean not only for Brendan, but also for the entire Gaughan family.

It’s a rough stretch for a while when someone in the family passes on. I was in a daze for a year when my mother passed, but then there’s a point where you get some kind of sign that things are going to be okay. When Brendan won, it was easy to see through his emotions how he was feeling. While doing his victory interview on television, he walked over to his car and pointed to the spot above the door where his name is supposed to be and it had the name John “Jackie” Gaughan written instead.

It was a great moment that had several layers of goodness to it. The LVH SuperBook books Nationwide races all season and opened Gaughan at 40/1 odds to win at closed him at 25/1, but didn’t have many takers.

It was Gaughan’s first NASCAR win since a Truck series win at Texas in 2003, a race I remember all too well because my sportsbook got hammered on him at 10/1 odds, which in retrospect was obviously a bad price.

Tire Notes: Sprint Cup teams will be running the same combination of left- and right-side tires that they've run at Kentucky since 2012. Kenseth (4.0), Kahne (6.5), Gordon (6.5), Johnson (7.5), Truex (7.5) and Busch (7.5) are tops in average finish in that span. McMurray, Keselowski and Vickers participated in the Goodyear tire test at Kentucky last month.

Jeff Gordon: Has finished in the top 10 in all three Kentucky starts. Gordon has one win and leads all drivers with a 4.8 average finish in the four races at 1.5-mile tracks this season. This weekend, Gordon will return in the same car (chassis No. 869) that he won with at Kansas Speedway.

Jimmie Johnson: Has finished in the top 10 in all three Kentucky races and led a race-high 182 laps last year. Johnson has one win, 222 laps led and an average finish of 10.2 in the four races at 1.5-mile tracks this season. This weekend, Johnson will return in the same car (chassis No. 799) that he last finished ninth with at Kansas Speedway.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Won the pole and finished 12th last season to give him an average finish of 15.3 in the three Kentucky races. Earnhardt does have two top fives this season at 1.5-mile tracks, including a runner-up finish at Las Vegas.

Re: Quaker State 400 Betting News and Notes

Kentucky entertains NASCAR Saturday nightBy: Brian Graham
StatFox.com

After tackling the Sonoma road course last week, the NASCAR circuit moves to the more traditional “cookie cutter” track at Kentucky on Saturday night for the Quaker State 400 Presented by Advance Auto Parts. The Kentucky Speedway opened in 2000 in a 1.5-mile tri-oval shape. All the turns have an identical banking of 14°, making it one of the flattest of the six other similar tracks (Atlanta, Charlotte, Texas, Las Vegas, Kansas and Chicagoland). The frontstretch, which measures 1,662 feet is banked at just 18° while the backstretch measures a similar 1,600 feet, but with only half the banking (4°) of the frontstretch. There have been only three all-time NASCAR races at Kentucky Speedway. Kyle Busch took the checkered flag in the first race in 2011, and Brad Keselowski won at Kentucky in 2012, and Matt Kenseth conquered the field last year.

Drivers to Watch

Kyle Busch (12/1) - This is a driver who consistently receives unfavorable odds, but for Saturday night, Busch's Kentucky odds drop to 12-to-1, which is exactly double his 6-to-1 price last year. He has dominated this venue with top-10 showings in all three of its NASCAR races, winning the inaugural pole and race in 2011 before coming in 10th place in 2012 (in a race he led for 118 laps) and placing fifth in 2013. Busch has really dropped since he suffered a crash in Dover with an average finish of 30.0 over his past four starts, but he has raced well at similar venues, such as a 3rd-place showing at Fort Worth before coming in 9th place in Charlotte. Expect Busch to find his Kentucky magic and get back into the top-10 in the Chase Cup Standings after a win.

Brad Keselowski (8/1) - Last year's winner at Kentucky also finished 7th at this track in 2011, as he led for a total of 147 laps in those two races. Keselowski has always been an intermediate track monster, and this year is no different, winning at Las Vegas, starting 3rd at Kansas and 2nd at both Fort Worth and Charlotte. He's also raced consistently well enough all season to remain among the top-5 drivers in the standings after all 16 starts, banging out seven top-5's and an average finish of 13.2. At 8-to-1, the Keselowski is not a bargain, but he's the lone single-digit-odds driver that stands out.

Kasey Kahne (12/1) - Kahne has more favorable odds than the 8-to-1 price he went off at last year. Not only was he the 2012 runner-up at Kentucky, but he has always thrived on 1.5-mile tracks. In the past four such races this season (Charlotte, Kansas, Fort Worth and Las Vegas), he's either started or finished 11th or better. After crashing in Pocono three weeks ago, Kahne looked strong at Michigan (5th) and also at Sonoma last week with a 6th-place finish. This marked his sixth top-8 showing this season. With double-digit odds, Kahne provides some excellent value for Saturday night.

Tony Stewart (20/1) - Stewart is in the midst of tough stretch of races, placing 10th or worse in seven of his past eight starts. Three years ago at this Kentucky race, Stewart was getting 8-to-1 odds, so this looks like an undervalued driver on Saturday. Stewart has also been decent on intermediate tracks, including winning the pole during an 10th-place showing at Fort Worth. At this time of year when "Smoke" usually goes on a flag-checkering run, consider him the best darkhorse on the board and thus worthy of a small wager.

Martin Truex Jr. (60/1) - The longshot pick of the week is Truex, whose odds at this track have quadrupled in the past year from 15-to-1 to 60-to-1. But each time at Kentucky, his result has improved from the previous race, as he finished 18th in 2011, 8th in 2012 and 7th last year. Although he's still looking for his first top-5 of the year, this past history makes him worthy of a one-unit play on Saturday night.

Re: Quaker State 400 Betting News and Notes

LAS VEGAS – Brad Keselowski was the only driver to top 183 mph in Friday’s final practice session at Kentucky Speedway in preparation for Saturday night’s Quaker State 400, showing that his Penske Racing-powered Ford might have something for all the fast Hendrick engines that were feared the most coming into the week.

Three drivers from Hendrick Motorsports have won five of the past six races, including the past two races on 1.5-mile tracks. Stewart-Haas Racing driver Kevin Harvick, who uses a Hendrick engine, finished second behind them at both Kansas and Charlotte.

Of the four races run on 1.5-mile tracks so far this season, Kansas would probably be considered the most similar layout to Kentucky, but it’s unique to itself, as SHR driver Kurt Busch explains:

"The track has a unique set of bumps that makes it different from a lot of the typical 1.5-mile tracks that we see," Busch said earlier this week. "It’s kind of a one-off race with its own setup issues. You can overthink Kentucky a little bit because there’s nothing similar to it.”

While there has been little doubt about the horsepower edge the Hendrick engines have over all the teams, a unique track like Kentucky can be somewhat of an equalizer because of the setup and balance of the car. That helped Keselowski maintain an edge at Las Vegas when he won in March, followed by teammate Joey Logano at Texas in April -- the first two 1.5-mile tracks run on this season.

Can the Penske cars compare with Hendrick horsepower? Probably not, but they appear to have a few tricks up their sleeve in the setup for the 14 degrees of banking that may allow them to roll in and out of the turns the quickest.

Keselowski was not only fastest while in qualifying trim, but he was also outstanding in race trim during the first two practice sessions. In the morning session, he had the second fastest lap behind Kyle Larson (another Hendrick engine) and the fastest 10-consecutive lap average. The “Blue Deuce’ looks like the car to beat Saturday night, which would be his second win (2012) in four races at Kentucky.

For whatever reason, a Kentucky win has eluded Chevy in the three previous races, and it’s also the lone track on the schedule where Hendrick driver Jeff Gordon has never won. Gordon was solid in practices, finishing fourth in the final session, but what really makes him stand out this week is how well he’s done on 1.5-mile tracks this season. He’s finished ninth or better on all four, which includes a win at Kansas. He’s using that same chassis this week.

Jimmie Johnson was sluggish in both practices, and Kentucky is one of four tracks where he’s never won, but you can never discount the six-time champ. He still owns a sixth-place average, which is third best at Kentucky behind Kyle Busch (5.3) and Matt Kenseth (4.7).

The driver that really stands out is rookie Kyle Larson, who had the fastest lap in the first practice session and was third during ‘happy hour‘. He’s had three top-five finishes this season and is knocking on the door loudly for his first career win. If it weren’t because of his inexperience, Larson would be rated much higher, possibly right behind Keselowski and Harvick as the drivers to beat. He’s the best of the longshot odds, along with teammate Jamie McMurray, who won the All-Star and finished fifth in the Coca-Cola 600 on the last 1.5-mile race at Charlotte.

Joe Gibbs Racing drivers have won two of the three Kentucky races, and while they haven't been as good as last season on 1.5-mile tracks (they won seven of 11 in 2013), all three of them were among the top-10 fastest during 'happy hour'. Kenseth, last year's winner, had the second fastest lap in the final 80-minute session, giving an indication that the JGR cars may have found something and are on the upswing. Kenseth had his only top-five finish on 1.5-mile tracks in the last one at Charlotte.

Look for the Penske duo of Keselowski and Logano, who both start from the front row, to give the Hendrick engines all they can handle Sunday night even though Chevy has them in numbers. In the first 90-minute practice session, 13 of the top-18 speeds all came from Chevy, including SHR driver Danica Patrick, who was eighth fastest.

If Kansas correlates just a little with Kentucky, that’s good news for Patrick because she had her best career finish (seventh-place) there in May and is using the same chassis this week.
